Hailing from Limpopo myself, I’ve always wanted people to come and see the sheer wonders of my province and #TGEspring18 will definitely deliver this – from the All white boat cruise to Thathe Sacred Forest Excursion, guests are in for a treat of a lifetime.

#TGEspring18 will give the local tour operators and tour guides an opportunity to showcase and tell their own stories about their province and places of origin ”
